The Giants had their final practice on Thursday during an abbreviated week of preparation for Saturday's preseason game against the Jets. Coach Ben McAdoo said he plans to treat Saturday's game "very similarly" to last year's third preseason game. The Giants' starters on both sides of the ball played one series in the third quarter before departing last year.

Here are some observations from Thursday's practice:

MORE WORK FOR JONES

New York Giants practice, 11-10-16

For the second consecutive day, backup offensive lineman Brett Jones took some reps at right guard with the first-team offense. Starter John Jerry took the vast majority of the reps at right guard, but this is a situation that bears monitoring if Jerry continues to struggle.

McAdoo didn't rule out making lineup changes before the season opener.

"You have to do what is best for the team and if you can improve the roster, you improve it," McAdoo said. "If you can improve the starting lineup, you improve it. You never take the easy way out."
